True or False: Information on offenders 17 years old or under is available through LAVNS.

Information on offenders 17 years old or under is not available through the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System (LAVNS) due to confidentiality and privacy laws that protect juveniles. The system is designed to provide victims and the public with information about the status of adult offenders, but it is restricted from disclosing information regarding juvenile offenders to safeguard their identity and welfare. This is in line with various legal standards and practices aimed at protecting the rights of minors within the justice system, as well as maintaining the nature of rehabilitation efforts focused on younger individuals in the legal system. Thus, the assertion that information on offenders 17 years old or under is available through LAVNS is false.
